Red Apple 86 Fleet Place Development LLC

Very convenient location, friendly staff

There was an electrical fire, causing the sprinklers to go off and cause water damage on multiple floors, in mid-2024. So far as of mid-2025 there is still ongoing repairs, visible damage from the water, and an overall lack of interest in maintaining the common areas in the building

The location is fantastic, and the luxury of not worrying about packages being stolen is great. The building staff is amazing and responsive.

We've had repeated issues with hot water and electricity. The biggest instance being when there was an electrical fire and the power went out in my apartment for 2 days. They gave us discounted rent for that issue, however there have been shorter annoying electrical issues. The hot water will randomly go away for hours on short notice. Management is rude and gaslighting people who complain.

No issues, friendly staff

Pet apartment - outside the apartment is always a bit smelly

- amenities are great (post COVID)
- concierge, maintenance, and staff are friendly and helpful
- friendly neighbors

UPDATE - 3/7/2025
- Constant construction and power outages to deal with an issue stemming from an electric fire in August 2024
- 3+ full day power outages
- All day noise - permit runs through June 2025
- Management is not responsive


- occasionally hot water will go out and become lukewarm (seems to happen about once per month)
- because packages must be checked in at concierge, it may be a bit after delivery before you can pick them up

Have some empathy

Neighbors are respectful usually, no loud noises from other neighbors, extremely clean, great building staff, nice sized apartments, great amenities

Daily construction noise, residents allowing their dogs to go off leash and into common areas despite signs posted up, management not listening or caring about tenants whatsoever

Give appropriate responses when we ask questions

Phenomenal front desk staff and maintenance team. Location is very convenient. Apartments are nice and the gym is one of the better ones for this kind of building.

Feels like a dorm at times with all the college students. Area is kind of loud.

Stop charging tenants for cheap building materials when trying to get back their security deposit.

Great front desk and maintenance support
Clean main lobby and lounge area
Fantastic Roof deck

Elevators - 1-2 always out of service
Gym Amenities- half the cardio machines always out of service but there are a lot
Smoking - no one ever follows the rules, so halls always smell like cigarette and weed smoke
Management - Red Apple Management is honestly terrible with communication and getting back to you except Maria who tries her best to support you but there is only so much escalation can do.
Leasing Office is great - Anna is hyper responsive

This place feels like living in a hotel. Front desk staff are amazing, as are all the porters and support staff. Our apartment is large (2BD 2BA), bright, modern and beautiful. We have a huge balcony and great views of the East River and Manhattan. Management has been very responsive, granted we haven't had major issues since we've lived here. Maintenance requests get dealt with super fast, I love it. It's like magic. (Lived in owner-managed buildings before, cheap owners not wanting to spend money maintaining their property, this is so refreshing!)

The new building on Prince will block a part of our view, but that's living in New York!

New building (As of 2020), good amenities, good views

Location ok for the price. Management is terrible. From mail, basic decency, to even friends entering the building, expect a hassle. Did not return full deposit.

Garbage room, concierge desk

Sometimes cold, packages lost

Superb Cleanliness, Professional Residential Manager, Convenient Location, Safe. Nice Workers

No Cons really but they should allow tenants to smoke on their balconies at least

Let us Smoke on our Balconies Mr Billionaire :)

Nice, clean, new apartments with great amenities

Staff is very friendly and keeps the building in good shape

Management is irresponsible and ignores tenant’s requests.

Neighborhood is ugly and loud

Please react to tenants emails. Simply ignoring them is not an option especially when they pay their rent on a regular basis during the pandemic.

Clean building, really friendly staff; washer dryer in unit.

Responsiveness from management; needs fewer restrictions on outdoor amenities; no neighborhood feel.

Someone who is running for mayor should care more about his residents.

Doormen are great, building is super clean, and amenities are awesome

The roof has been closed for over a year

Friendly doormen and staff

Expensive to cool

Keep up the good work

It’s definitely clean. Good amenities.

When you check out, look out for the inspection guy. They will take as much of your money as possible.

The front desk staff are really wonderful

Management is really stingy and awful. Hot water disruptions occur frequently. Common areas close for repairs all the time. When we came into our apartment, we realized that the medicine cabinet was installed upside down and nothing has been done about it. On top of that, they hike up prices in absurd ways. When we were first shown pics of the apartment, they showed us pics of a unit where there was a proper bar counter (with an extended top where you can place bar stools) but it ended up just being an island so we had to get a dining table. We used this free broker service called Loftey, and i swear the guy Ori was just in cahoots with management because he just kept pushing this building without any real argument besides the apartment being “less cookie cutter” and having “nice finishes.”

N/a

Very centrally located, easy to get on the BQR trains, easy to get to Fort Greene Park. A Citibike station is a 3 minute walk away.

The air conditioning is extremely loud, the oven makes your apartment smell like gas every time you use it. The shower plumbing vibrates pretty aggressively when you take a hot shower, so that you feel like something's about to burst the whole time. Also, the all-in-one washing machine doesn't have separate sections for the detergent and bleach, which is very weird. Maintenance told me to put the bleach and detergent in together. I unfortunately signed a 2 year lease in Jan 2020, so I'm stuck with pre-pandemic rents until 2022.

Also, a building of this size should have done composting pre-pandemic, but my idea was shot down by management.

Also, management didn't organize a holiday gift fund for the staff, which is weird.

Offer a rent discount for folks who signed a very long lease right before the pandemic.

High rise, front desk, elevator, secure

Ventilation isn’t super great in apartment
